Infamous Goose Sauvignon Blanc

The unofficial end of summer will be here this weekend, and I will be off to the beach with my trusty fishing rod and a bottle of Infamous Goose Sauvignon Blanc. This summer-in-a-bottle wine hails from New Zealand Marlborough’s Wairau River Valley, where nutrient-poor soil produces a lush, aromatic, and crisp Sauvignon Blanc with notes of tropical fruits, kaffir lemons, and salivating acidity. Best of all, this wine has a screw cap! So go out there, dip your toes in the ocean, crack a bottle of chilled Infamous Goose and enjoy the last licks of summer – Cheers!

Tasting Notes

In appearance, it's a pale lime to straw color. Notes of kaffir lime, passionfruit pulp and lemon zest dominate the nose. The palate features concentrated citrus and tropical fruits with a salivating acidity.
